“Maybe the truth is, there’s a little bit of loser in all of us. Being happy isn’t having everything in your life be perfect. Maybe it’s about stringing together all the little things.” — Ann Brashares (via julie911)

“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder…” — Thoreau (via creatingaquietmind)

# 32: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
The tremendous popularity of The Little Prince does not come as a surprise to anyone that has read it. The narrator’s encounter with the Little Prince in the Saharan desert after his plane crashes sends him back into his own childhood. The narrator’s friendship with the Prince makes him realize that he has lost his own childhood sense of wonder and fascination with the mundane. I have always loved the way this novella forces its readers to yearn to discover their own inner children and examine their own lives to find the fruitless obsessions. I highly recommend this one; you will never look at stars the same way.
